Polen 6-9 April

Me and Jack in the old town, Jack went for a snooze........ He was very snug in his pram,whilst me and Gareth was somewhat very cold




Pictures from Polen.
I really love the picture of the old door so I had to include it on my blog.....
This is a picture of the old town that had to be rebuilt after the second WW. Also our hotel we stayed on the 25Th floor (great view)





I have been really lazy with updating the blog, but have finally got around to uploading my pictures. So we went to Warsaw Easter weekend, it was a really nice trip and we stayed in a gorgeous hotel. The Polish people are so friendly and helpful and they all speak English which was refreshing.......Due to the history and the capital getting completely wiped out about 3 times, the buildings are fairly new. After the second world war they had to rebuild the city, but it was done on a replica basis. The old town was gorgeous with lots of colorful buildings and so much character. Dizzy me though managed to fall over in the middle of the town, for no reason what so ever and I cut my knee really badly and for those of you that know me "You, know I can not handle blood" So I was feeling terrible sorry for myself. And my gorgeous little boy was giving me plenty of sympathy. Talking of Jack, he was so hilarious in the hotel room we had to shout at him for something, so we got down on his level and looked him in the eyes as we where explaining to him that what he had done was wrong he replies back "Don't shout at me, I am only little and I can't handle it anymore. You need timeout" We where wetting ourselves with laughter but had to keep a serious face and take it in turns to talk with him as we had to walk off to the bathroom to laugh. On Easter Sunday we went for a brunch at the hotel and it was great. Jack as well had a fab time as there was a children section with clowns and face painting and their own little buffet and it was soooo posh. The one thing we were not aware of was how cold it would be. We just assumed that it would be as warm as Budapest. We where sooooo wrong. We only brought very little luggage and warm clothing was not one of them,so thank god for H&M. It was freezing, but Jack was snug as a bug in his little pram.The strangest thing was on the Sunday I met an old classmate from Junior High school that I hadn't seen for 15 years in the hotel breakfast room, I can only say "it's a small,small world after all" We had a great time and it was such a nice experience to see Poland. Hopefully next time we get to go to Krakow.
